Buffalo Bills Tight Ends

Dawson Knox, Tommy Sweeney, Nate Becker, Reggie Gilliam

The tight end position is one that likely needs to be addressed the most. The team is expected to let Tyler Kroft leave in free agency and reportedly traded tight end Lee Smith to the Atlanta Falcons.

This leaves a young, inexperienced group led by Dawson Knox, who will be entering his third season in the NFL. After him would presumably be Tommy Sweeney, who played well as a rookie but missed most of last season after dealing with a foot injury to start the year and then being diagnosed with a heart condition in November.

It remains to be seen if he will be able to return this coming season. After those two are Nate Becker and Reggie Gilliam who have very limited experience at tight end. The Buffalo Bills undoubtedly will add another player or two over the next few months.
